BlackBerry PlayBook OS 2.1

By now, most people who own a BlackBerry PlayBook will have received the notification on their tablet to go ahead and update to OS 2.1.0.1032. The latest OS offers a broad range of changes but to the average user, not all of them are instantly obvious.

Earlier this week we put up a post letting you all know RIM was planning to release the latest developer beta for the BlackBerry PlayBook pushing the OS into v2.1.0.560 and now, the update has gone live for those waiting.
